Video Comprehensive reworked Udyr guide from Challenger player.

Link to Udyr Guide (YouTube)

Hey guys I'm Udysof a Challenger player and Coach of Pentanet. I've played at world's and last year I coached at MSI. I've done a lot of research on the new Udyr and I think there are a lot of misleading click bait bandwagon videos on YouTube right now, so I've compiled all my learnings into this one guide and I hope it can help some of you! My sources: kr/na/euw highelo Udyr one tricks, pro players, I play tested him in 15 Smurf games(plat elo) and 5 high elo games(masters/gm).

As I was making the video the Q buffs came in so I'm still testing those to see how good AD-tank Udyr is. From my findings so far it's still not as good as the AP-Tank build in my video.

I'm still trying to find how to optimise my W awaken usage in teamfights and skirmishes, I think the ability is strong but it will take a lot of play testing to master it's limits. So if you guys see cool clips of it being used feel free to share them with me as it will help me and others here!

Finally, if you guys have any questions for me please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to help :)

Edit: forgot to mention this video is geared around Jungle Udyr.

You're not really tanky, you don't do damage, and your clear speed is worse than the ad build. Is there anything i'm missing?

Is this some sort of new tech?

It has a super high winrate with a low number of matches. I have just been running PTA for the AD build and used to run Conqueror

Discussion Dusk and Dawn?

2 Upvotes

I've been experimenting with Dusk and Dawn a lot lately, and I feel like it actually may be one of Udyr's strongest items, but I don't see anyone talking about it here. Lolalytics also says it's one of his highest win rate items, though the sample size is not that big.

If you run PTA and get a feel of how to cycle your abilities with it, it feels very strong, I think having some ability haste built synergizes quite well with it, i try to cycle each stance after just 1 auto, it allows you to get extra value from each stance basically every time they come up, yes the sheen proc isn't up every time you swap, but being able to cycle stances in quick succession makes you utilize his kit way more. Not to mention it double procs your passive and then you can keep swapping to reduce it sooo fast, having lots of awakens is obviously very strong, this also helps your clear a lot. Not to mention the heal that dusk and dawn provides as well.

You can burst people down quickly with the pta proc and still have good sustained damage afterwards. It just feels very versatile, I guess the only weakness i see is if you are facing a team where you can't get a lot of autos off, but in that case I would just build Liandries anyway. What are your guys opinions?

Discussion This Udyr champion looks good

4 Upvotes

Kinda new to this champion. I used to play him a lot back when AP Udyr was broken with Liandry's into Demonic kind of stuff but now AD seems a lot better. How are you supposed to build AD Udyr?

Sho'Jin Hexplate into DD/Deadman's/Maw seems like a no brainer but I can't find anything I like 4th (other than one of those items). GA maybe? Edge of Night? I'm kinda stuck when it comes to really late. I've thought of Stridebreaker but the stats are pretty shit. I'm assuming LDR is also pretty good in some games cause of how it works nowadays (doesn't compare your health total to enemy, just how much bonus health they have).

Would appreciate any advice in builds.

Discussion Udyr's movement speed

6 Upvotes

I think udyr is in a good spot right now in terms of movement speed (with the AD buffs) but something in me deep down misses that udyr movement speed udyr had.

I wish his E movement speed was higher, but I wish his R slow was lower. I feel the falloff of his E is so drastic and feels LESS satisfying than any other of his abilities right now, I'm not saying it's bad or useless but its VERY unsatisfying, no?

Discussion I have been asleep for 10,000 years and I want to play Udyr again

7 Upvotes

I quit playing league many years ago, long before the Udyr rework ever happened. I've since played very occasional ARAM, so I'm familiar with the kit on a very superficial level.

I'm hopping back into league to try and get to platinum (hopefully further) to win a bet, and I want to do it using Udyr who was my main before i quit. I was platinum in S6 and S7

I play mainly jg but can secondary top if need be.

My question mainly is what sorts of items/runes are good right now and whats the state of Q vs R maxxing in the modern day? What are Udyr's relative strengths and weaknesses compared to other popular jgs at this time? What should my general gameplan be and how should I be playing the mid and late game?

if nothing has changed in 10 years then just let me know

Thank you kings

Help Questions about Udyr

5 Upvotes

Hey!

I've started playing Udyr and I have a few questions.
What kind of champion is he? Is he more of an AFK farmer, an early-game ganker, a mid-game power spike champion, or does it depend on the build (AP vs. AD)?
Also, do you have any general Udyr tips or advice for specific builds?

One thing I've noticed is that even when I go for a full tank build (with Liandry's as my first item), I still feel pretty squishy. Is there anything I can do to be tankier or play those builds more effectively?

Thanks in advance!

Build build criticism for Crit Udyr (critdyr)

0 Upvotes

heyo! look, i know lol players, and specially subreddits for lol players aren't the most keen to having civilized conversation that are actually taken seriously when it comes to an actually off-meta for fun build/strat, but i want you to bear with me because i am curious.

so, currently i have been trying out crit udyr, a decently fun build so far, however i want to actually talk about it with someone else.

i want to discuss 2 things, runes and LDR/MR.

first of all, LDR/MR item spot, regardless of which i would choose, i am curious if ever not using that and instead starting to build navori's is a good idea, constant ability+aa spam soudns like a good incentive by trading off the dmg form the armour pen. only thing i am worried about tho, the lack of AD. this means that all-together, my Q, W, and E will be less effective since it gives no AD at all, which also affects surviability, i may get to spam W more but its shield and healing will be worse, what do you think? or is his ability transitioning already quick enough to not need it?.

alright, second point, runes. HoB is fun because, well, crit emp Q with fiendhuhnter means oh so funny dopamine rush, but is there another rune i could take? i rlly love the idea of, even if i am going crit, being like, this machine of dps, so idk if smth like, uh, PTA, could work, removing that burst for more dps. i was gonna ask for survibability runes, like fleet footwork, so while i am dps'ing i also healf more, it sounds fun but idk ur thoughts

Help Help with empowered autos and stance swapping

3 Upvotes

Hey this is probably going to seem stupid to some of you Udyr vets, but I find myself having trouble sometimes keeping track of the 2 autos after swapping stances, especially with really high attack speed later on. I can hear an audio indicator of the hits when there’s nothing going on. Just curious on how you guys do it. Do you just count, or listen, or use a skin with a good visual indicator? I would think looking at your hud buffs to see them is really bad in fights. Again, sorry if this is stupid but I really like this champ but am struggling with this part during really high attack speed panicking in fights. Thanks.

Does anyone build Sundered Sky on Adyr JG? I normally run Shojin/Hexplate now. I was curious cause the sustain and damage look like it would help. I don't think I've ever seen it on him but I use it on Frontline Vi and it got me out of a lot of situations. What do you guys think or say?

Discussion Death's Dance + Protoplasm Adyr JG

6 Upvotes

EDIT - and there it is from Xpetu on Tryn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH__h5pvovY

Protoplasm and Death's dance are two of the highest efficiency items in the game. They bring a huge amount of raw stats and survival passives that synergize fantastically.

Udyr scales very well with Raw HP and AD. DD is almost always his best 2nd or 3rd slot item, as it works so well with Tunneler starts, but recently I've been bringing it further and further forward in my build, because the passive is just so damn good.

I'm now experimenting with starting Pickaxe -> Giant's belt -> DD -> Protoplasm.
EDIT: for tempo, and to abuse the passive, I'm testing starting Protoplasm -> DD. Shen and Nassus both dominated with Protoplasm start, and it doesn't seem to meaningfully slow down your clear.

This scales fast, giving you huge raw fighting stats in the early game. 25 ad first back to speed up clear and help ganks, then 350 hp to let you immediately start to frontline. Armor from DD components scales up the HP efficiency and adds more damage.

Once your have both passives online, you just DO NOT DIE. This lets you be much more aggressive in pushing into the enemy team to QQ targets. Death's Dance defers damage, Protoplasm soaks it up and adds more max HP to buff your Q damage, in addition to giving you movespeed and tenacity to stick on your target.

Mid-Late game I take a page from one of the top rank Challenger Udyr's and build Hullbreaker. By 3rd item, you really want to be focused on securing objectives and towers, and Hullbreaker does this best.

If the enemy team has fed AP carries, I will often pause my build to add a Spectre's Cowl, which you can finish 4th if needed. Spirit visage if the AP threat turned out to be mediocre, or Rookern if there are multiple scary magic damage sources.

Final item is very flexible- an additional Tunneler item will never hurt, but more often a GA can straight up win the game.

Your ability to facetank falls off as the enemy ADC gets past 3 items, so your playstyle needs to shift to skirmish and splitpush as you seek to end the game.

The power of this build is really that 2 item spike, though. You want to use early game pressure and force fights while your Protoplasm passive is up to just body the enemy team. Keep up momentum, build into Hull, and close the game before they can start to scale.

GL HF Udyring!
